 Rated 5 out of 5!
Never heard of George Romero!
I never heard of George Romero, and vaguely know of his day or dawn of dead series. I loved this movie because it was a great movie...the story, the characters, the music, especially the beautiful song during Ed Harris’’s (King Billy) funeral. I was just browsing in the Video Store and came across this gem. (am a fan of Ed Harris). Truly a great movie, it you love movies. - Rated 5 out of 5!
Sometimes you get lucky.
Sometimes you get lucky, and are a fan of a great filmaker, and on the hunch that anything they make will be gold, you go out and get a film and are treated to a gem like this.No this film is not for everyone. Yet perhaps it is? I know all about where the movie came from and what inspired it. I belong to the SCA. This film captured, at least for me, exactly what I joined the SCA for. A kind of escape from reality, without being totaly delusional and dysfunctional. It’’s a joyride into many peoples ideals of getting away from it all, and doing your own thing. At the same time the ideals of Arthurian legends are lived, not just imagined. As movies go it is quite possibly the best example I have ever seen of what a truly gifted writer/director can do with the least amount of money and hype. Nothing else I could say would do justice to this film. It’’s now one of my favorites of all time, and I don’’t need to justify why. Simply pick up this movie, give it a good sturdy chance at winning your heart, and you will find something about this movie that will really pull you in. Nuff said, what are you waiting for go get this movie :)  Rated 4 out of 5
One of Romero`s Best Work as a Director.

They used Amor, Wielding Lances, Battle-Axes, Maces and Boardwoods. They are the Perfect Medieval Jousting Tournament Group. The rule of the Game, if Someone of the another Gang lead by Arthur (Tom Savini), if they win, He will become the new King of Camelot, if he doesn`t win. Billy (Ed Harris) will always stay King of Camelot. But Billy almost believes too real about the real world of today society of Camelot is being Renewed. While they get national attention much to the dismay of the Current King of This Camelot and the Crew asked themselves, Why they are There doing, What they Loved in the First Place.Written and Directed by:George A.
